Updates

Compatibility notes:

• Kollaborate Encoder can now be installed via Docker. The next update will be Linux-only so Docker will then be the only way to install on macOS / Windows. Existing installations on macOS / Windows can continue using this version but will need to switch to Docker for the next version.
  
  To switch your existing installation to Docker, follow the steps in the installation guide and then copy your old kollab_encoder.conf file to the new installation.

Changes in 1.5

• Fixed an issue where the queue could stall
• Fixed an issue where multiple encodes could occur at the same time
• Fixed an issue where files could use the wrong URL when updating a failed job
• Support for HQ encoding opt-in
• Fixed an issue where soffice could be killed prematurely, preventing office docs being converted
• You can now specify a UUID in your config file. This allows Kollaborate Server to identify the encoder in situations where it cannot from the IP address alone - e.g. if you have a complex network setup or you're running more than one encoder on a single IP. The UUID can be any value but it's best to create one with the uuidgen command-line tool. Remember to also add the UUID on the Servers page in the Admin Area on the webserver.
